"I thought our next action was to bring in the Cook.  We've determined that he knows 'something' and it's our only real lead at this point.  We could try to cultivate further leads, but I think we should follow up with the Cook first and foremost.  I say we bring him in tomorrow, as long as we have a quiet place to question him."

"A 'Sending' would work.  I can not cast such a spell, but the High Cleric at the temple of ArsurAny'odel is of sufficient power."

" So our course is still the same.  Once we finish up here, we bring the cook in for more questioning."

"Maybe.  I'm more inclined to think that Stormoon started seeing Charlene and that is what pulls him out of his misery.  Possibly the cook introduced them or had a hand in their meeting, at the very least saw them together. This would have been around the time that Charlene would have been working for the Lady Luxuries.  Either Stormoon, Charlene, or the both of them together stumble upon something there that someone, possibly these Onice's, didn't want them to see and they take out Stormoon to silence Charlene.  They make the death public knowing that people will gossip and the news will reach her ears.  She gets spooked and tells her estranged boyfriend, Falce, everything and that she wants to get out of the city.  He has a history of theft from those he works with, so he likely swipes the gem from the Onice's and gives it to Charlene to pawn for gold.  Bad move because they really want it back and hunt her down and kill her to get it, after questioning her about how she got it.  They make her death look like an accident so there's no further investigation."

Uleric, at one point turns to the Sgt. "Am I correct in assuming that this Cobus is a known criminal figure?  One does not usually come by the moniker 'the Shark' in most legitimate lines of work.  Are we not supposed to report such contact to our superiors?"

To the others: "Do we know if the sketch of the girl was shown to Stormoon's employees? He would not be the first man in history to try to heal the wound in his heart in the arms of a younger woman."

Going back to the dinner Stormoon had the night he died, what area of the city lies to the east of where the dinner took place?

Do we need a warrant to have the Dockmasters turn over a copy of their records about ships entering and leaving the city docs?  What about privately owned docks?

I agree. Though it might be wiser to conduct whatever indoor activities and file searches we need to do first while the weather passes and the streets clear. For instance, we should check to see if Falce has a criminal record that we could extract info from.

An excellent idea.  I'd rather not trudge through chin-deep snow if I don't have to.
